AI Advisor — Deployable, Governable AI Platforms
AI Advisor helping enterprises translate AI ambition into deployable, governable platforms. I advise and design AI/ML and LLM-ready environments across hybrid cloud, with deep hands-on experience in OpenShift AI, multi-tenant GPU orchestration, and MLOps operating models (guardrails, quotas, cost control, day-2 operations). I work in regulated contexts with architecture aligned to SOC2/ISO27001 controls. I also communicate at global scale: speaker at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2026 (Amsterdam) on multi-tenant GPUs on OpenShift AI, and speaker at Red Hat Summit 2026 (Atlanta) on safety-first GPU multi-tenancy and platform engineering.
Luca is a Docker Captain (since April 2026), the creator of the popular Ansible Pilot project and author of several best-selling technical books, including Ansible for Kubernetes by Example and Hands-On Ansible Automation. A former Red Hat engineer, he has made significant contributions to the open-source ecosystem, particularly in enhancing Ansible's capabilities for cloud and AI workloads.
